Our Story

Credible. Reliable. Change Makers.

After working in the construction industry for just shy of a decade, Carrabay Founder & CEO, Brian Flannelly decided that a stale industry needed to be shaken up. The way things are done hadn’t been improved or innovated for decades before the Carrabay Team came on the scene and Brian wanted to revolutionise the way things were done in concrete construction and rebar supply.

Carrabay was started in 2015 as a humble outfit in Sydney’s Western Suburbs with just Brian and a few loyal committed FRP tradesmen at the helm.

With an insatiable desire to bridge the gap between unreliable Rebar supply chains to the FRP delivery teams onsite, Carrabay was redesigned and since have built a multidisciplinary team consisting of over 80 FRP tradesmen, detailing and manufacturing, pre-fabricating and Management staff.

We have the vision of becoming Australia’s leading FRP + Rebar supply solution and aim to provide our clients with a stress-free program and remove any budget concerns that have been apparent in our industry for most projects.

We understand what keeps project managers awake at night and how too often budgets are blown out with unforeseen surprises in regards to steel costs.

We know that Reinforcing steel is known to be the most difficult raw material to manage and cost track, so with absolute confidence and authority, we throw our hat in the ring and offer lump-sum pricing on steel supply & FRP contracts all delivered on time and on budget by one company – Carrabay.

The element that sets Carrabay apart is that everything we offer is self-performed and managed under one roof providing an end to end vertically integrated service, from detailing, rebar cut & bending, offsite prefabrication, steel fixing, concrete placement and formwork. Back this up with our world-class support team and you can easily see why we are known as “credible reliable change-makers”.

We are redefining the definition of “value add” within the space we operate. We are solidified on the mission to support your success for contracts and career by raising the bar on service and quality.

What if a rebar supplier actually took responsibility – not just for pumping out the steel, but for the FRP Delivery as well?

Carrabay was formed with a singular vision: to take charge of the complete, end-to-end supply of Rebar and FRP Delivery to save time and money on-site.

By using a completely in-house scheduling and manufacturing process, coupled with a flexible crew of skilled tradespeople, Carrabay provides an Australian-first service to civil contractors and infrastructure projects.

We can freight cages to service our FRP Contracts Australia Wide. Our off-site steel and cage prefabrication allow for just-in-time delivery, increasing installation speed on-site and simplifying logistics, as well as significantly reducing errors.

Delivering extraordinary efficiency to your project

By offering our clients both the steel manufacturing component, as well as access to a fully trained and efficient FRP workforce, we can deliver agile solutions to your construction project. Our combination of services allows us to take care of rebar supply, steel fixing, formwork construction and concrete placement – all in one package.

This means you are dealing with one supplier who can project-manage your FRP contract, delivering high-calibre products and efficient installations bolstered by meticulous service.

By managing the cutting and bending, pre-fabrication and placement of rebar, we also add value through identifying solutions for unforeseen engineering issues – before they blow out into complex, costly problems.

We strive for perfection, show complete accountability, and we’re committed to raising the bar on service and quality.
